Program Description:

It is estimated that two-thirds of persons in the community with dementia are undiagnosed and untreated, a fact that has significant implications for future health resource utilization in view of our aging population. Better identification and management at a primary-care level is essential. Based on the successful accredited Memory Clinic Training Program developed by The Centre for Family Medicine and the Ontario College of Family Physicians, this case-based interactive session provides the busy family physician with pearls on the diagnosis and management of patients with MCI and Dementia in ambulatory care.

Learning Objectives:

• List features that allow the clinical differentiation of normal aging, MCI and
  the various types of dementia, and explain common office-based cognitive
  tests and investigations that can assist in the diagnosis
• Review basic initiation and monitoring of medications used in the management
  of patients with dementia
• Differentiate patients who can safely be diagnosed and managed by the
  family physician from those requiring a referral to a specialist

FEE: $245.00 (HST included)
